Several books written about Kombucha state the first recorded
use of Kombucha Tea was during the Chinese Empire of the Tsing Dynasty in 221 BC. It was referred to as "The
remedy for immortality," "The Divine Tsche." It has also been referred to as "the elixer of
life." It has been known by several different names, such as: Fungus japonicas, The tea fungus, Fungojapon,
Kombucha, Indo-Japanese tea fungus, Pichia fermentans,Cembuya orientalis, Combuchu; Tschambucco, Volga spring,
Mo-Gu, Champignon de longue vie, Tea Kvas or Teakwass, Kwassan, Kargasok Tea, Kocha kinoko, and Manchurian mushroom
tea.

Much of the Kombucha information I've presented in
the Kombucha FAQ has been based on answers to questions which were posted over the Kombucha mailing list - by past
and present members.

The FAQ's marked [**] were translated using AI (Artificial
intelligence) engines, not by human translators; as a result, the translations are quite rough. However, they still
give the gist of the information.

The Kombucha FAQ's (in any language) are not for sale. They
were created for educational purposes only, and as such, are made available to any Kombucha drinker in the
world who wishes to download them from this website for their own personal use.

FAQ machine translations. Your name will be listed as 'Translator'.
